Ken Roczen, HRC Usa: "I don’t know what to say. My December has been horrendous. Me and the team did everything we could to get better. I didn’t expect that at all coming here. We’re really focused on our starts and everything went right, I’m really thankful for that. Towards the end I just wanted to keep it on two wheels, I haven’t often had a gap like that."
Cooper Webb, Red Bull KTM: "Man it was a fun night on a tough race track, really a lot of us duking it out.I kind of got shuffled back the first few laps, but I felt good tonight, felt like I fought really hard. Got myself into a good position. Ken rode away but I got second, best I’ve ever done at the opener so I’ll take it.”
Justin Barcia Try Lee GasGas: “That was an awesome race, I had a lot of fun, some great battles out there. I rode steady, smart and smooth. I felt good today, it was awesome.”
Chase Sexton, HRC Usa “That was one was tough I kinda feel like an idiot for making those mistakes. The first one kind of caught me off guard, and the second one was pretty much me just riding off emotion. Unfortunate for me but I showed a lot of fight in that one. I didn’t give up, Marvin and I had a good few battles there, he ended up getting me at the end. That was frustrating because it’s not the first time I was the fastest but I didn’t get the win.”
